Abstract :
A polarizing phase shifter for quasi-optical transmission line with phase sections made of crystal quartz and polarizers executed on the basis of small-period wire gratings is considered. The phase shifter is intended for operation in terahertz (THz) frequency region. It was examined at 0.89THz frequency (f0). The influence of differential phase shift deviation in the sections on the phase shifter error is considered. The error was ±2° in the frequency region which is 15% of f0.
